It’s almost here! In just over 1 week Team Rhythm will be running to raise funds for one of our favorite local non-profits, Anthropos Arts, at the Austin Marathon on Feb. 18, 2018. Five Rhythm Superfoods employees (Allison, Ashley, Bri, Dan, and Emilea) will be running anywhere from a 5k to a full marathon. We’ll credit Dan with those marathon miles. 😉

Over $8,000 has been raised to-date but there is still time to contribute to this amazing non-profit that provides high-quality music education for low-income and at-risk students. DONATE – You can support the runners by donating to their fundraising pages. Simply follow this link here and click on “the team” to contribute towards a specific team member’s page. Every little bit counts!

“We’re so happy to have the synergy of health and wellness, and music all come together to show support for these kids’ education. It means more than you know and makes every bit of difference in their lives.”

– Dylan Jones, Anthropos Arts Executive Director

ABOUT ANTHROPOS ARTS

Through Anthropos Arts, students not only get instruction from the best musicians, they also receive mentorship and the opportunity to perform onstage in Austin’s best venues and events. The non-profit serves over 150 students at 16 middle and high schools and offer music workshops and master classes for many more students each year.

The benefits of their programs are profound, affecting many aspects of students’ lives: overall academic success, self-discipline, self-esteem, and a pathway to college. Over the past five years, 100% of our senior students have graduated from high school, and more than 80% enrolled in college on scholarships. For the last four years, 100% of the seniors enrolled in college.

Whether your summer was filled with adventurous vacations or more relaxing staycations, hopefully it was filled with fun, sun and healthy snacking! We had a blast introducing our snacks from coast to coast and making new friends, whether it was through music, yoga, marathons/triathlons, or healthy living events. We met so many people from different walks of life with a curiosity for kale, and we got a kick out of their candid reactions! And with our new Beet Chips popping up in stores across the country, now there are even more nutritious and delicious snacks to munch on! (You’re welcome ; )

With a name like Rhythm Superfoods and being based in Austin – the Live Music Capital of the World – we find music events to be an obvious outlet to introduce our snacks to happy concert goers! Here are some of the top music events that we rocked out at: Lockn’ Arrington VA, Lollapalooza Chicago, WFM Whole Planet Summer Music Series, Baltimore Artscape Music and Arts Festival, BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn concert series and Westword Music Showcase in Denver

Our friendly street activation team pounded the pavement and passed out thousands of bags of our Kale Chips, Broccoli Bites and a few highly coveted bags of our new Beet Chips in cities such as Denver,New York (Union Square), Chicago (Millennium Art Festival) and San Francisco (Union Street Festival)

Some of our favorite feedback was “I can’t believe this is healthy for me” and “I didn’t know that kale could be so tasty!”

So while summer has come and gone, you can be sure that we’ve got more than just kale crumbs up our sleeves this fall… Yes – more events and new products! We hope to see you around, and be sure to look for our Kale Chips, Broccoli Bites, Roasted Kale, and Beet Chips at a store near you, our online store, or Amazon.com!

Rhythm Superfoods kept busy this summer in Austin, Texas with a variety of events including yoga (LOTS of yoga), Bike Austin, music events, volunteering at a local food bank, and good ol’ back to school fairs.

Yoga On the Roof, Summer at the Springs, Bike Austin

If you live in Austin there’s a pretty good chance you participated in at least one of the healthy lifestyle events we attended under the hot Texas sun. Austin is known for being a fit community and what better way to make hungry post-workout consumers happy than to feed them kale chips. This summer we participated in Yoga On the Roof at Whole Foods Lamar throughout July, Summer at the Springs – a free yoga event by Wanderlust Yoga at Barton Springs on Monday nights, and Bike Austin’s Hottest Day of the Year Ride. We could win awards for the tan lines we’ve acquired along the way…

Back to School

‘Tis that inevitable time of year. School is in session (or soon to be at least). Hopefully you had the chance to sample Rhythm Superfoods Kale Chips and Broccoli Bites at one of the many Whole Foods Back to School Vendor Fairs in August. We even attended Texas A&M’s Back to School Vendor Daze during the week students were moving in because our Kale Chips are now available at the campus stores!

We’re sad to see summer go, but excited for fall and winter events we have lined up. Be on the lookout for Rhythm Superfoods Field Marketing Team demoing in stores and at special events!
